TRoUBLE-DR. MGLYNNs
William OBrIen did not go to the big demonstration
arranged for him in Union Square last night and his alb
sence naturally caused a commotion.
The labor organizations turned out In force TO do honor
to HIN and through MIN the struggle for Home Rule in
ireland The reception to Mr. OBren included
torchlght parade and then big mass
meeting in Union Square The labor per-
formed their part Of the programme but Mr.
OBrien failed entirely in his part He gave out late in
the evening at the Hoffman House, statement OF his
reasons for not appearing One that John McSIackn
chairman of the United Labor Party, who was to preside
at the meeting had June l presided at meeting in
Cooper Union at which 2. j. lyman spoke. and Mr..
OBrien thought he could not have the most remote
and Indirect connection with any who was friendly
to lyman Of the aters supposed connection
with the PhGnix Park murders and his physical
force" principles. Another reason was that
resolution denouncing tho expected ex-commun
cation OF Dr. McGlynn to be adopted
and the third connected with the land theories Of
Henry George and the Labor party The statement was

MIR oBRIEN DELAYS THE PARADE
II was the intention OF the committee Of arrangements
10 have Mr. OBrien escorted from the Hoffman House,
where he was staying, TO tho head OF the parade at
Thirty-fourth-st. and Tifthaye and then, when he
reached the reviewing stand he was to take hs place
on the stand aud review the parade. When the escort
called on him. however they found him surrounded by
members Of the Parliamentary Fund Association ana
Democratic politicians. and he declined TO have anything
20 do with the demonstration. All the appeals OF the
committee we're without, avail and his refusal seemed to
dsarrangc all their plans.
This may have accounted for the fact that not single
member OF the proper committee was on ;he reviewing
stand and that many Of the guests officials ana other
properly qualified persons were denied admission by the
captain OF the Sparrow police who had charge OF the
park Even the grand marshal of the parade had some
trouble In getting on the stand
